Can you fill up a gas can at a gas station?
Filling a Gas Can at the Gas Station. Place the can on the ground next to a gas pump station. Gasoline often carries a static electric charge. Place the can on the ground before filling it, where any static electric charge carried by the gasoline can disperse.
How much can a gas can hold?
Smaller cars generally have gas tanks that hold 12 gallons worth of gas, while larger cars can hold 15 or 16 gallons. For the purpose of this story, let’s say gas costs $3.85 a gallon. A car with a 12-gallon tank costs $46.20 to fill up while a larger car with a 15-gallon tank costs $57.75.
What sizes do gas cans come in?
Fuel can size Most gas cans in the American market come in roughly 1-, 2.5-, or 5-gallon sizes. There are some oddball sizes like 2.2 gallon, so take that with a grain of salt.
What’s better plastic or metal gas cans?

What happens if you crack a plastic fuel tank?
Considering the inertia and kinetic energy of fuel in a plastic tank being transported by a vehicle, environmental stress cracking is a definite potential. The flammability of fuel makes stress cracking a possible cause of catastrophic failure. Emergencies aside, HDPE plastic is suitable for short term storage of diesel and gasoline.
